Project 365-2011

Today in 1945 World War 2 came to an end… so bizarre to think of war and what it must have been like to live then… and of course the big thing would be WHERE you lived… my dad was 2 when the war ended. My grandmother told me of how she would stand in line to get material to make baby clothes for him…

It’s weird why I think about stuff like this now… I was never into history or news but now for some reason I am… is it age? I don’t think I'm old but I wonder if when you get to some mysterious age things start to change? And no one tells you this will happen! Or they didn’t tell me! I'm totally into the news at the moment and it is so not like me! I hate the news! Never watch it! Well I do now! Since the Gadaffi Libya thing I'm hooked! Am I being brain washed? Is there something in it that makes me want to watch more? Am I being mentally manipulated by the information that I process? Am I just a sheep? Or….. Maybe I'm just more aware of things than I used to be. I don’t think I ever thought about the world when I was 20… well I thought about it but I saw it different maybe…. Maybe that it? I don’t know?

We saw this thing the other day on TV… it said…. The brain interprets what “happiness” is at different ages…. Young and old. Happiness to a younger person was excitement and to an older person it was peaceful…. That’s what they said anyway! And I kind of see what they mean!

Maybe that’s why I think about things like this now… when I see something I want to know about it and so amazing the internet is… With everything just at my fingertips I can know anything I want to know! Well except cover ups and conspiracies! But I guess you can’t have everything!

Anyway I saw something on TV about the end of the war today and was thinking…. So I started to look up World War 2 and a bit about it and I was shocked…no, I mean SHOCKED! I had no idea, not even close…. To how many people died…. I know I'm not being to cheery here but this happened and it wasn’t that long ago… and I think maybe if we remember what happened then maybe we won’t let it EVER happen again!

Anyway…. I hope I didn’t get to morbid but this is where my mind went tonight sitting with my laptop… I guess sometimes it’s ok to go places even if they might not be very nice…. They happened… I can go there and then leave. I don’t have to stay! And I don’t have to go there at all if I don’t want to! Tomorrow…. I won’t be so morbid! :~) I promise!

Anyway… that’s it! Finally! If you made it to the end of this…. Congratulations!!!!!!! You’re the lucky winner! Of what you might ask? And so will I! So let me know if you find out what it was! I hope it was a great prize! Really! I do!
